Kurzbeschreibung
The agile development movement represents the latest advances in tools and techniques intended to boost developer productivity. Programming language-agnostic, this movement is capturing the attention of developers of all disciplines, and is particularly prevalent in cutting-edge open source communities such as Python and Ruby. Foundations of Agile Python Development is the first book to apply these sought after principles to Python developers, introducing both the tools and techniques built and supported by the Python community. Authored by Jeff Younker a well-known member of Python's agile community who is perhaps best known for his creation of a popular Python testing framework, this book is sure to be a hit among readers who may have reached their limits of knowledge regarding the Python language, yet are seeking to improve their understanding of how sound processes can boost productivity to unparalleled heights. For more information about the Agile movement, see the following websites: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agile_software_development http://agilemanifesto.org/principles.html http://www.extremeprogramming.org/
Synopsis
You ve long been enamored with the Python language, and have mastered its many nuances. Yet something seems to be missing a productivity boost that you know is possible but you re not sure how to go about it. This was the sentiment of so many developers before discovering Agile programming paradigm, which embraces concepts such as automation, effective code management, and test driven development. Foundations of Agile Python Development is the first book to apply these sought after principles to Python developers, introducing both the tools and techniques built and supported by the Python community. Authored by Jeff Younker, a well known member of Python s agile community who is perhaps best known for his creation of a popular Python testing framework, this book is sure to be a hit among readers who may have reached their limits of knowledge regarding the Python language, yet are seeking to improve their understanding of how sound processes can boost productivity to unparalleled heights.

Awesome Book on Agile Python, But OUTDATED
4. August 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
If you are looking to purchase this book, and you are in the year 2010 or beyond, DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. Please continue reading my review below, however, to understand why.
This book is outdated because:
1. It has extremely detailed instructions for using eclipse (the IDE) with pydev, mylyn, and pydev-extensions. Eclipse has changed a LOT since this book was written, and the instructions are no longer accurate. The pydev-extensions plugin doesn't actually exist anymore, it was merged with pydev. This can be confusing for new users trying to get things running.
2. The instructions for getting buildbot running are no longer correct. Buildbot has changed a bit as well, and the details for installation is different than it used to be.
3. It spends a while talking about pMock, one of 2 python mock libraries, which hasn't been developed since 2004 and is considered obsolete.
4. It spends a while talking about pyfit, which hasn't been worked on since 2006 and is also not commonly used.
Now, for my thoughts about the book itself:
I decided to give this book a 5 star review because it is an excellent book:
- The author writes extremely well, and has a bit of humor throughout the book.
- The author covers extensions why TDD is good, how it helps, and how it should be used.
- The author describes the different types of testing, and provides clear, intuitive, and thoughtful examples that clearly demonstrate *how to* do the testing.
- The author covers extremely detailed setup / installation / configuration of the tools and development environments discussed.
The reason why I have to not recommend any readers purchase this book though, is that it is sorely in need of an update. I just finished reading this book (August, 2010), and it is very clear that it is outdated. This book would have been extremely useful two years ago, and maybe also the first quarter of 2009, but agile practices and tools have changed so much since then that this book really needs to be rewritten.
My advice to readers who are considering purchasing this book is to do so only if you are aware of what you will be getting, but would like to make use of the author's code examples, writing, and TDD explanations while disregarding the tools used.
I really did enjoy reading this book, however, and I really hope that Apress forces Jeff to release a new copy.

An extremely useful book for Python programmers.
2. Dezember 2008
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
If you're like me, you started programming by writing code. You learned the syntax, looked up things as you went along, and eventually became a proficient programmer. In other words, you took the bottom-up approach.
Now you're hearing all the buzz-words: agile, revision control, test-driven development, unit testing, stubs, mock-ups, code coverage, and more. This stuff requires a top-down approach -- understanding it on a high level before being able to use it to its fullest. Sure, you probably use CVS or Subversion and test your code. But this book gives you the full picture, and ties everything together.
If this wasn't taught in school when you learned to code, or you earned your skills the hard way, and you love Python, then I wholeheartedly recommend this book. Check out the table of contents and see for yourself. I like the fact that it explains the high-level concepts clearly and with enough background that you feel like you "get it" before moving on to the examples.

Just the intro chapter is worth it
4. August 2008
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I was not disappointed when I started reading this book.
The first chapter which covers the theory of "Agile Development", is just great.
Now, I am no agile programming expert. The only thing I currently do is write a lot unit tests. But I think I will take some advice for the future (like pair-p.) from this book.
The pace of the book is great (relief after the lutz books), and the authors personal experience in the field is both reassuring, encouraging and interesting.
Coming from a background of C#.NET I am glad that python is getting some help in IDE department and will certainly give some tools a try.
I love the book but YMMV.
Errata (apress does not provide one):
P.99: There is a mention of configure.py in the file list of svn with ? status. This file was never mentioned before.
Where did it come from and what does it represent???
p.109: " 'factory': f " should really be with "f1" at the bottom.
p.112: When issuing "create-slave" command the slave name used is "rsreader-linux"
whereas it was configured to be "slave-lnx01".
